At least for me… 8 miles in 69:30.
The first 2.3 miles felt ridiculously slow but clocked in at about 8:45/mile. Up to about 8:30/mile for the next mile. Looks like I maintained about 9 minute miles for the next 2 and half or so, but then made up lots of time at the end. About 8:20 in the long 1.5 mile downhill stretch, followed by a good strong 7:45 pace for the last mile.
I felt pretty good throughout with no cramps or particularly strong winded-ness. My feet hurt in a few spots, so I think I may need to retire my shoes. All told I’m feeling pretty confident for the 10 miles on 4th of July. Still shooting to beat 90 minutes with 80 minutes as my stretch goal.
